Arguing in circles is the correct answer. The statement is trying to base the claim on the claim itself.

Hi!

The answer is arguing in circles.

The premise of the argument is the same as the conclusion.

Another example could be: "If you don't eat, you will die, because not eating makes you die".

Hope this helps ! :D
